The main thing you need to worry about in that territory is moving firewood. That's the no, no. Something about transporting ash bores.

Ask the site manager for where you are hunting.

Hey bigtim6656 you can probably find the answer to your question here.

http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/3199.htm

Maybe there is someone there you can contact? I took a peek and couldn't find anything. Pretty cool website though.

I think you'll probably find that's a no no. If you want to clip a couple small limbs or something fine, but as far as cutting shooting lanes, that sounds like you're going to clear cut and that's a no no.

As with all regulations, it will vary state to state.

In NYS it is not allowed.

Your supposed to leave them as you found them. You can be in violtion if your found on the property with impliments (screw in's of any kind so check your pack before you enter) even though you didn't use them. You can tie things up, no need to cut.

It's always best to call and talk to the people in charge. Many regs say something like they are incomplete and only a general guide line, for the full... What you'll often here is "what if everybody decided to...?"

You will be fine if you just cut a few small ones just don't do a logging operation! :D
I would tie up as many as I could with a jute string and snip the ones I couldn't get tied up
